Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor 4.6 (Mac OS X)

Misleading claims.  

Multi-language support in Ten Thumbs?. No sir! You MUST have a single copy of Ten Thumbs for each language and it supports only that language! If like me, you type in English on a Danish keyboard then, Ten Thumbs is of no use. In answer to my dissatisfaction with the product Ten Thumbs replied, "We have discussed changing the language selection operation, so that the user interface can be in a different language to the keyboard and lesson. This would be possible and is under consideration for a future update. Allowing you to type in a different keyboard with the lesson itself in English would not be practical, because of differences in the language/alphabet itself. Would being able to type with the instructions and interface in English but the lesson line itself in Danish meet your needs? We will be happy to issue you with a refund, but I'd appreciate hearing your feedback on this possibility." That was in March 2007, still waiting for the refund in August ! From my personal experience with Ten Thumbs I would now recommend alternatives like KAS for Mac or PC, www.kaz-type.com, which I have used on my UK keyboard Mac laptop. For my Intel Mac desktop running Vista with the Danish Keyboard? There are so many PC typing tutors that support multi keyboards that it's impossible to recommend one! [alert admin]

Actually, there is proof that subliminal stimuli does something. Check the literature at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6427951.stm
